Three things helped turn the tide. One was Johnson's success in convincing Congress that he had really eliminated all the fat. Another was the death in April of House Appropriations Committee Chairman Clarence Cannon, who had always encouraged Passman...
...computer's coldly calculated answers promise to help cut through the growing confusion about fats and the heart. Today, almost every time some authority sounds off on the subject, the effect is to multiply the contradictions. Last week the American Heart Association suggested that although the proof is not yet conclusive, the weight of evidence indicates that a lower-fat diet, with proportionately more polyunsaturated:|: vegetable fats, will help to save lives. But the Food and Drug Administration had just threatened action against manufacturers who label shortenings and cooking oils as polyunsaturated, thus implying that they are good...

Randall's djinni happens to be Burl Ives, who complicates a routine romantic farce by conjuring up slaves, seneschals, dromedaries, elephants, a shapely blue djinniyeh (Kamala Devi) and a tonic belly dancer (LuLu Porter). Soon, of course, Randall has to explain all the whimsical phenomena to his fiancée, Barbara Eden. This chore...
